Neon makeup can transform your entire mood with just one vivid swipe of color, no extravagant outfit required. Fluorescent green, yellow, and pink are the go-to shades. Concentrating the color on one or two areas—eyelids, lips, or nails—is enough to make an impact. The skin is kept matte and clean, with the base refined so the neon point stands out. Blush and contour are skipped or minimized.
